A recent study from the University of Ottawa has called into question the current theoretical model of the universe’s composition, which includes normal matter, dark energy, and dark matter. This new research challenges the existing understanding of the cosmos.
Dark matter, a term used in cosmology, refers to matter that does not interact with light or the electromagnetic field, and can only be explained through gravitational force. Although invisible and of unknown composition, it plays a crucial role in our understanding of celestial bodies’ behavior.
Physics professor Rajendra Gupta utilized a combination of covarying coupling constants (CCC) and “tired light” (TL) theories to develop the CCC+TL model, which suggests that the forces of nature decrease over cosmic time and that light loses energy over long distances. This model has been tested and aligns with various observations, including the distribution of galaxies and the evolution of light from the early universe.
This groundbreaking discovery challenges the prevailing understanding of the universe, which posits that dark matter makes up approximately 27% of the universe, ordinary matter less than 5%, and the remainder dark energy.
